She still appears to be painfully thin…
What do YOU all think?





sooo beautiful
Ok, noq I agree she looks too skinny! Look at her face :O
Sad.
*now
so skinny. pretty face.
She’s always been skinny, even in her uncool T4 days.
Anyone from the UK remember that PAINFUL tv show she did, ‘The Wall’. It was so bad. She’s not that cool.
She’s skinny (in a scrawny high metabolism way) but whatever. Her interview skills are terrible and she’s not as great as she clearly finds herself.
Can you tell I don’t like her? haha
She looks like she’s lost weight, if that’s even possible?!
There’s definitely something wrong with her…
Okay… She is definitely too thin. She needs 10 more pounds to look fuller and prettier. Yeah… the Skeletor look is not becoming. Even the really super thin Victoria’s Secret models who are probably skinnier or just as skinny don’t look like this… Ugh
Oh. My. God. How do those legs even support her weight?? I want to pin her down and force feed her!
Some women who are too skinny (IMO) at least still look kind of good. This just looks awful!
She’s purty!
she was always skinny but here she looks way too skinny – im shocked! she does not look good at all!!!
part of me wants to say that she is really too thin..which it appears she is. the other part of me is jealous at how thin she is. i wonder celebs get so skinny like that. i like food way too much.
i think she looks great.
she looks at least 35 in the last photo. She may be naturally thin, but she is not naturally this thin.
Sorry, but this girl should have a problem. I saw her a few months ago and she wasn’t so “badlooking”. Just look at her at the two first photos! Her face at the first photo looks veryvery awful, and those legs at the second one, please!
She needs help, that looking isn’t healthy.
That is anorexia, I´m not even joking.
Yep, she’s looking awfully thin. She can’t be eating much at this weight. I love her style and tv show. I watch it just to see what she’s wearing, the celebrities and music acts. It’s pretty good stuff.
SHe has such boyish features, but man, thats what makes me think she is so incredibly attractive. I cant really put my finger on it of what it is, its just something about her face i find beautiful.
she looks 40!! omg!!
I answered yes to “Do you think Alexa Chung is too thin?” Even though she’s clearly underweight that’s my idea of beautiful. I also disagree that you can’t be too thin. I mean, Allegra Versace takes the piss.
I LOVE her bag !! Its Mulberry right ?
Anyway, I don’t think she is *too* thin, she just kind of looks that way cause she’s too tall. And I also think she wouldn’t have this kind of press if she weren’t that thin (sad but true) and she knows it..
“you can never be too thin” yes, you can and it is called anorexia.
Alexia Chung doesn’t look healthy!
holy shmoly, go home and get well for yourself
bag o’bones.
she looks hungry.
Scary
One step up from Amy winehouse, her sister, she always looks a mess. She is ,certainly, no icon, and painfully skinny.
When I saw the 2nd picture I just thought OMGWTF FEED THAT GIRL!
She used to look so good one or two years ago with a little more weight.
beautiful
What is the hype about her!? She is painfully unattractive!! There is nothing pretty about her. Why is she famous?
Not healthy.
Why would anyone want the posture, stance and possibly bone density of a frail old lady?
Not attractive in the least bit. She should not be presenting a show that has such a young demographic.
The picture of unhealthy IMO.
those legs….gross
What do you think her BMI is? 15.5? She looks dangerously thin.
Yikes! I could floss with her legs! Seriously, I’m hungry and exhausted just looking at her… Somehow I doubt this is simply a result of high metabolism.
Nobody is ‘naturally’ that thin, unless your 12 years old! She definately looks anorexic.
I understand she is a model and always has been skinny and pretty well known in the UK, but I think it’s reprehensible for MTV to employ her as a TV host. First of all, it’s not like America isn’t teeming with charismatic young people who would be able to do her job. Second of all, she looks like she is decomposing. What a good role model.
I’m sorry, but to the person who said she’s too tall, she really isn’t. She’s actually very, very small. She’s always been skinny but it’s getting a little bit less than natural now…
I don’t get you, Rian…
you claim this is not a pro-ana site, but you propose people to answer “you can never be too thin”… ???????????!!!!!!!!!!!!
who answers that, except a pro-ana person???????
@belle
Really ? I read somewhere she was 5′10, so I figured thats why she looked so skinny.. But of course I don’t know if its true or not..
I used to be jealous of her legs, but now am completely not!
They look awful!
I agree with Claire, MTV shouldn’t be having someone that skinny presenting to younger people…
This lady looks exactly like a woman who used to live next door, and she had gotten arrested several times for prostitution before they finally evicted everyone from the house…so it’s hard to NOT think of her when I see pics of Alexa. Very strong resemblance, same face and they are both underweight.
She’s 5′7 and a bit. Probably claims 5′9 or 5′10.
being as skinny as her put those wrinkles at the side of your mouth like that. and i would think her bmi could be around 15.5.
she looks like an elf, her ears stick out.
she is quite skinny – but this is the impact of new york living.
she looks ill.
why isnt there a category for her yet? shes on this site so much.
she is too thin, if others dont see it, then have have a problem.
so, it was meant to be funny. Chill out girl!
she’s gona mega thin. u can see it in her face. looks good tho!
She is terribly thin and not in a good way. I watched her show the other day and couldn’t believe how she looked. Her guest that day was at least 2x’s bigger…And her hair if the worst I’ve seen.
Ever seen her show? She’s adorable on it. However, she is eXtremely thin! MAN!
She just looks like all of the models at fashion week….I was just in bryant park today and all of the models are painfully thin, more so than alexa chung
if she is used to spend her vacation in asia like most e.g. eurasian then she is used to being/trying to be extremely underweight for her whole life. her system probably has got used to malnourishment by the age of 3 already. have you seen korean or other mtv djanes? 5′6″-5′8″ and the max. is 103lbs.
She looks cute. She’s very thin, but not too thin. She has always been at this weight if you look at her prior photos. She’d look perfect if she grew out her hair again.
it makes me kind of sad that she has got so thin.
i used to love her not bothered look.
now, she seems to be BOTHERED, and not in a good way.
=(
Dude, she’s way too skinny.
To whoever said she’s always looked this skinny, I just google imaged (since I never heard about her until recently) and she is definitely much skinnier now than in older pics. When people get used to seeing someone it’s harder to notice…
She’s gorgeous! With 10 more lbs even hotter, her legs are disappearing!
Holy moly she is anorexic. I dont doubt that for a minute.
She has said she is ‘afraid of carbs’ yet is a vegetarian..so she eats…what exactly? I feel bad for her, she probably tried to lose even more for NYFW. MTV should intervene. Not good Alexa, not good.
*btw the bag is the mulberry ‘Alexa’ bag.. yup they named it after Alexa. Ha!
mmmm for a while i just thought maybe shes just naturally skinny…
but looking at how much her face is ageing
i think she seriously may have a problem
she has those lines around her mouth…
usually what anorexics get.
2nd picture is really sad.
Before I saw her on this site, I had never heard of her. I like her style, but she is definitely very thin. It shows in her face and tiny legs.
She is really, really pretty though.
jjj – are u blind???? seriously.
im glad that 95% of people who have replied to this thread can see that she is not a healthy girl.
whatever its been its been a while coming. she has lost a fair few pounds over the last year or so. hope she gets better soon, before the osteoporosis sets in o_0
out of this poll…30% of the readers here has ed’s..wow.
i am a major fan of alexa chung but even i’m concerned. a quick search of google or flickr reveals how much weight she has lost. she admitted in an interview a few years ago that she quit modeling because she developed a distorted body image and obsessed with counting calories- and became a television host because she’d “rather have a bigger brain than smaller bones.” it’s sad because she has looked stunning and healthy over the past few years (she’s 5′8″ and naturally a uk size 10/ us size 6) but it appears she has a problem (to say the least) at the moment. even her eyes and skin have lost their sparkle. she looked so beautiful when she wasn’t this skinny, it’s actually really sad.
bobble head!
but i like the skinny look…
she looks to be 5′8
way too thin, she looked so pretty when she was about ten pounds heavier. she doesn’t look attractive at all, not face or body.
@ LONDON CALLING: i didnt know she was amy winehouse’s sister? cool
she used to be so skinny and cute now she looks sad it makes me want to hug her
Not sure who this chick is. I haven’t heard of her. I think she is cute. I’m also diggin’ her petite frame.
Too thin-i guess 5′7 about 115? she is tiny!
Some people can be this thin and look well/cute, she doesnt. maybe the pale skin, the outfit, the hair….dont want to be mean shes a cute girl but the whole look is not working for her. maybe a bad day which we all have had
xo
a very entertaining show to watch
an attractive girl
thought skinny suited her
but starting to cross the line and it shows in her legs. her face looks nice though.
I can’t stop myself from replying to this post. Alexa is much too thin now. She looks malnourished and I completely agree that she is sending a bad message to all of those young, impressionable girls that watch her MTV show. She should not be on TV — it is clearly affecting her state of mind (she was nowhere near this skinny when she was less “known”) and it is adding fuel to the pro-ana fire. Alexa is the new Nicole Richie.
hideous
I really believe when Coco Chanel made that famous statement she didn’t have today’s scary bobblehead trend in mind.
Alexa doesn’t look well.
Well, it doesn’t take a nutritionist or medical expert to see this child is unnaturally thin. I can see how though. She has her own show, plus it’s NYFW. If there’s a passion for fashion, being skinny is on your list of priorities. (i.e. Rachel Zoe, Anna Wintour)
Normally I love the skinny look. I don’t normally have much bad to say about anyones body but she has gotten way to thin… I feel for her.
Nice outfit, pretty face…maybe too thin legs..but I saw thinner
she has lost way too much weight! she admitted in an interview a few years ago that she quit modelling to become a tv presenter because she developed a distorted body image and became obsessed with counting calories. she looked slim, stunning and healthy in 2006/ 2007 (she’s 5?8? and naturally a uk size 10/ us size 6) but it appears she has a problem (to say the least) at the moment. even her eyes and skin have lost their sparkle. she looked so beautiful when she wasn’t this skinny, it’s actually really sad.
i usually think she’s pretty, but she looks old, dried and sick in these pics. why would anyone with half a brain want to do something like this to themselves?
She’s like a scrawny coked-up looking version of Liv Tyler. Except Liv’s way prettier. For some reason, I just can’t stomach Alexa. Her voice, maybe. She’s not that great an interviewer, really. And her fashion sense is very commonplace.
she has not always been this thin!! I saw a picture in a magazine of her last week, it was taken about two years ago and she’s so much heavier. She’s still thin of course, but looks beautiful. Her face was so much fuller.
OMG, she’s skinnier every time I see pics of her!!
Way Way beyond naturally thin…this is unnatural emaciated-looking thin. She looks like she is quickly approaching Allegra Versace territory. Allegra is shorter but I’m just saying for height/weight ratio Alexa is danderously close to becoming the next Allegra!
meant to say that Alexa is *dangerously* close to becoming the next Allegra.
Poor girl, she needs an intervention. It looks like it would hurt to walk being this thin!
Too thin for her frame and probably not healthy. The only people who are naturally that thin are like 5 foot tall small framed Asian women, etc. She looks ill and suddenly too aged all at once. If she is 5′9″ (same as me) I am putting her at no more than 108.
She is supposedly 5′8″. I’d guess 110. Way too skinny. She looks like her bag is about to topple her over! Not good. She should gain about 15 to look healthier.
Yuck not pretty at all. Looks like a little boy. I would take Hilary Duff or Scar Jo’s body over this anyday. You need curves to look like a real woman.
She looks so old nowadays, like in her mid- 30’s. Some make up would do her good.
I think she is 5′7-maybe 115?
i am so sick of people saying she is naturally this thin..she gets skinnier every post on thhis website!! she looks terrible
Ewwwwwwwww!
She is naturally skinny, but she has definately lost weight, she looks ill. It only seems like she has lost weight since she moved to America..and that’s nothing against americans btw, just an observation.
She is beautiful though.
She looks really terrible. I’m sorry, but NO ONE is that thin naturally. I’d say she’s around BMI 15. Poor girl :/
@maddison: If there’s a passion for fashion, being skinny is on your list of priorities.
Not really! I’m obsessed with fashion, and I’d rather die than be that thin. Fit and curvy alll the way.
omg what has she done to herself??? she has always been thin but she was never this scrawny and her beautiful face!!! she looks so old and her skin looks so dull and wrinkly, she used to look so fresh and nice. Ahhh lay off the cigarettes and drugs alexa and eat some healthy food!!
@ Elle mid 30s is not so old! Just saying. She looks tired and gaunt but that is not the same as old or mid 30s! Take care if your skin and eat healthy and in 30s you may look in your 20.
She has the same jacket like me!
it’s not that she’s just too thin–she looks gray. drug use? she’s lost more–i liked her when she was flirting with skinny…now she looks drawn.
Love her but in picture number 2 she looks way too thin. Its frightening. I feel as thought her looks are suffering. A few pounds on her would do wonders for her face.
There is no way she is 15.5 bmi!She is about 5′7 110-not that that is soo healthy-but better than a 15.5 bmi!
Hideous legs! Like a giraffe.
It amazes me that there are people out there who truly believe that one can never be too thin. Is that a joke? Do you really believe that there is no such thing as too much skinniness?
Im convinced that girl has an eating disorder, i have been for a while.
She’s always been skinny, but in the second photo she looks WAAAY too skinny – her feet and hands look too big for her, and she’s looking a bit lollipop-headed. Usually I stick up for her because I’m pretty sure she’s naturally skinny, but she cannot be naturally as skinny as she looks in that photo. Bad angle maybe?
Alice i agree-she might not have full blown anorexia, but does clearly NOT eat enough-which is still an ED
she has anorexia for sure.
the ugly wrinkles on her face should be her 1st clue that she is too thin! YIKES..
While it’s true that she has always been thin, she has NEVER been THAT thin. She looks malnourished and in dire need of something to eat. Not a nice look.
In a very old interview she spoke about always having had very thin limbs and a comparitively larger trunk. I guess when she loses weight it makes her thin limbs look even thinner. She’s lost some weight since going stateside but she’s always been a skinny gal. She does look gaunt now, tired also, but it’s probably due to her hectic schedule and the stress that comes with her new career.
